WARNING  
WARNING  
The blower door must be securely in place when the  
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which  
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into  
the living space resulting in personal injury or death.  
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underĆ  
water. A flood-damaged furnace is extremely danĆ  
gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in  
fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified serĆ  
vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace  
all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical  
parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace,  
if deemed necessary.  
Your furnace is a gas appliance. It is critical that the gas  
supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the proĆ  
duction of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of  
the gas requires, but is not limited to, correct gas pressure  
and gas flow rate, adequate combustion, air, and proper  
venting.  
IMPORTANT  
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in  
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the apĆ  
plication needs must be made by a Lennox service  
technician using factory specified and approved  
parts.  
WARNING  
Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and  
toxic.  
Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal injuĆ  
ry and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item  
that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion proĆ  
cess (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces)  
has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because  
of this, Lennox recommends the use of a carbon monoxĆ  
ide detector in your home, even if you do not own gas  
appliances. Reliable detectors are available at reasonable  
retail prices. Contact your Lennox dealer for more details  
about this investment in your safety.  
WARNING  
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service  
or maintenance can cause property damage, personĆ  
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  
be performed by a qualified installer, service agency  
or the gas supplier.  
Safety Instructions  
1 - Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible  
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and  
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace  
must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating maĆ  
terial may be combustible.  
Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by nationĆ  
al agencies, and to operate safely when properly installed  
and maintained. However, the unit's performance can be  
greatly impacted by the individual installation and the opĆ  
erating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure that  
this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is critiĆ  
cal for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the  
product. Lennox strongly recommends annual inĆ  
spection and maintenance of this appliance. Contact  
your Lennox dealer for an inspection by a qualified service  
technician.  
2 - DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an  
unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.  
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace  
or air openings to the area in which the furnace is  
installed. Take care to maintain established clearĆ  
ances surrounding the furnace.  
3 - DO NOT store chlorine or fluorine products near unit  
or introduce these products into the combustion air.  
These products can cause furnace corrosion.  
Lighting Information & Operation  
4 - DO NOT draw return air from a room where this furĆ  
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heatĆ  
er), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room,  
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas apĆ  
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure,  
the flue products can be pulled back down the vent  
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue  
gas may result in incomplete combustion and the  
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas  
might then be distributed throughout the house by the  
furnace duct system.  
WARNING  
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire  
or explosion may result causing property damage,  
personal injury or death.  
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the apĆ  
pliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor beĆ  
cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the  
floor.

Service Reminder  
Call your Lennox service technician if the unit will not operĆ  
ate. Before calling, always check the following to be sure  
service is required:  
Planned Service  
1 - Check that electrical disconnect switches are ON.  
2 - Check room thermostat for proper setting.  
3 - Replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers.  
4 - Gas valve should be ON.  
You should expect a service technician to check the followĆ  
ing items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit  
must be shut off for the service technician's safety.  
5 - Air filter should not be plugged, which will limit air flow.  
6 - Is gas turned on at meter?  
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room  
where the furnace is installed) - Must be open and unobĆ  
structed to provide combustion air.  
7 - Is manual main shut-off valve open?  
Record the model and serial number of the furnace. These  
numbers are on the unit nameplate, which is located on the  
blower deck below the combustion air inducer.  
Burners - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.  
Vent pipe - Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged  
or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.  
Serial Number __________________

Safety Precautions  
Blower access door - Must be properly in place and proĆ  
vide a seal between the return air and the room where the  
furnace is installed.  
If you discover any of the following, shut down your  
unit, and contact a Lennox dealer for an inspection by  
a qualified technician.  
Return air duct - Must be properly attached and provide

example, poorly performing burners can produce unfaĆ  
miliar noises.  
an air seal to the unit.  
Operating performance - Unit must be observed during  
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the  
vent system.  
D If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operatĆ  
ing improperly. For example, units can give off unfamilĆ  
iar odors if components are required to operate in abĆ  
normal conditions.  
Combustion gases - Flue products must be analyzed and  
compared to the unit specifications.  
D Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Examples  
include unusual amounts of condensate on windows inĆ  
side your house, visibly burnt components or unusual  
dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or in the unit.  
Problems detected during the inspection may make it necĆ  
essary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items  
can be repaired or replaced.  
D If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziĆ  
ness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxide  
gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because  
symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like sympĆ  
toms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to subĆ  
side while you are away from the house, exposure to  
carbon monoxide could be the cause.  
Pay attention to your furnace. Situations can arise beĆ  
tween annual furnace inspections that may result in unsafe  
operation. For instance, items innocently stored next to the  
furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply. This could  
cause incomplete combustion and the production of carĆ  
bon monoxide gas.
